Raiatea Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 My boyfriend's youngest brother announced that he was marrying his girlfriend within the next few months, so they will be married when their baby arrives in 4 months. For some reason this has me in tears. I have never been married or engaged and although my current boyfriend (who I have been with for almost 3 years) keeps telling me that we will be married one day and we will have a child together I still feel so alone. We live together and are planning financially for our future together. I'm 30 years old and I react the same at any announcement of a wedding or engagement. I can't tell him that I really value marriage as I feel stupid talking so candidly about my feelings. I WANT to be married. I want someone to value me so much that they want a commitment to me. I want to be a wife and mother. I just feel that time is running out and I am unwanted. I was with someone previously who never wanted to marry me (but he wanted a child with me) and I was patient with him for 9 years, hoping that he would change his mind. Perhaps this is something to do with my reaction. Anyway, I would appreciate any insights into my odd problem. Why do I react with so much misery and despair at someone elses happiness?
